Hi Marc,

I'm not sure it's part of the definition. There are some cars, specifically
the Ford GT-40 comes to mind, that had "copies" made by a company called ERA
who bought the original molds etc. for the GT-40...and made great
improvements in reliability to the original article.
I'm sure there are many examples of "copies" being better than the original.
Technically, no "copy" can ever be exactly the same as the "original", but
how much of a difference that allows it to fall under the definition of
"copy" is certainly up for question.
Ed Romney's "copies" were better than the originals ;-)
Regards,
Austin
